🌕🍇 Jelly on the Moon (The Vocal Voyage) 🍇🌕

Hey everyone, I just want to apologise for how long it’s taken me to release the vocal version of Jelly on the moon. I originally made the instrumental three months ago, and it’s been a real challenge to add vocals while keeping the bouncy, fun energy that made the original so special. On top of that, I’ve had to move back to the UK for a while, which has taken up a lot of my time and energy. I’m really sorry for being absent for so long, and I truly appreciate your patience and support. I hope you enjoy this version as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Still squishy. Still bouncing. I engineered my vocals to match the playful, bouncy energy of the original instrumental, bringing a lively, cartoon-like character to the performance. I twist and dance with the rhythm, turning the groove into a moonlit party full of joy, laughter, and footloose jelly friends.

💫 For everyone who’s ever danced like no one was watching.. on another planet.

💨 The kettle hissed with pride and squealed “She sang with the jelly, do you understand the bravery?”
🌀 The blender twirled dramatically and declared “If this track were a dessert, it would sing its own topping”
🧊 The ice dispenser cracked with emotion and sighed “She sounds like stardust doing karaoke”

🩰 Built for midnight wiggles, lunar twirls, and jelly choreography with no rules.

🛠️ Mixed in FL Studio with bubbly synths, helium harmonies, and exactly 0% shame.

Not for the charts. Just for the joy. 🍇🌕

****Lyrics****

Moon jelly jiggle
Zero-G wiggle
Got no map, just snacks and giggles

Slipped on a crater with a custard shoe
Spinnin in circles like fizzy shampoo
Stars in my pockets, jam in my hair
Bouncin like a bubble in banana eclaire

Toast me light like a marshmallow swoon
I got jelly, jelly on the moon

Jelly on the moon, I’m stickin to the beat
Bouncin through the stardust with marmalade feet
Moon boots wobble, Saturn says “whoa”
Spoon fed rhythm in a galaxy glow
We got jelly
Jelly on the moon

Gravity’s gone, so I float with flair
Dippin my dance in vanilla air
Cheesecake comets doin the twist
Got a grape jam planet on my bucket list

Wobble like a pudding in a cosmic cartoon
Yeah I got jelly, jelly on the moon

Jelly on the moon, I’m stickin to the beat
Bouncin through the stardust with marmalade feet
Moon boots wobble, Saturn says “whoa”
Spoon fed rhythm in a galaxy glow
We got jelly
Jelly on the moon

Gelatin skies, neon whipped cream
Floating through a peppermint dream
Zero percent logic, one hundred percent tune
Come get sticky in the jelly moon room

Wiggle that wobble
Lick the Milky Way
Bounce to the bassline
In a marshmallow sleigh
Yeah we’re floatin
Jelly slippin, space trippin
Zero gravity zippin
Hands in the syrup, hips in the stars
This ride’s got snacks and no seatbelts or bars

Jelly, where? On the moon
Bouncin, how? Like a toon
Sticky, yes, Cosmic spoon
Jelly on the moon, let’s go soon
Jelly on the moon, no time to land
We got s’mores in orbit and beats on demand

I came for space travel
I stayed for the jelly
I came for space travel
I stayed for the jelly
I came for space travel
I stayed for the jelly
I came for space travel
I stayed for the jelly
I came for space travel
I stayed for the jelly

Everybody loves jelly!

Cast of Characters:

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl -- vocals, lyrics, Ovation acoustic guitar, and composition
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ and upright piano, and JJ's angels (voice synth)
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass and Collings mandolin
Mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- Mark –- VST fiddle
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Earle Scruggs custom banjo, production, mix, and mastering

This is the latest in our series of songs Carl has written about us. Being as both Tez, a lifelong, and to a lesser degree, Carl are Manchester United fans, Carl siezed on the opportunity to celebrate their shared fandom. Although the lyrics are a little inscrutable to us Americans, we love that football (soccer) fans from across the pond will know exactly what he's talking about. 
  Carl wrote this song on his acoustic guitar, and upon sharing it with us, we weren't sure as to the direction we wanted to take it. JJ threw down first, adding his good-time-sounding upright piano and strikingly beautiful organ to the mix first. He also added the subtle human voice choral synth you hear throughout. Enchanted with Carl's composition, Josh next added his bass and mandolin both in the same recording session, without even closing his DAW. Mark was in right after, adding his friendly fiddle solo as well as fiddle fills throughout. Being as the song is about him, Tez came along shortly after and added the tuneful intro and outro on his guitar. Then, as it was just about to sit for a while, Ken added his very tasteful, perfect drums to the mix, thus completing the rhythm section. 
  Before we put a bow on it, though, Stephen made it back from his week in the Colorado wilderness in time to add his magical banjo to the mix. Speaking of mixes, now it was time for one, and we turned it over to him, our in house pro, to do the honors.
  We all really enjoyed working on this one. It is an example of Eclectic Collective taking one of Carls songs and having our way with it. Always a team effort getting it over the line, but we always manage to do it. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Division Two Champs, '75
Small consolation for '74 cries
Fan wow land psyched
True Red Devil in this life

We fell to Leeds
Last Division 1
We had the Irish
Man, I followed them
McGrath didn't train
A different breed
Golden era
Boozed up greats as seed

Then, we mostly won
But still, these moments to memories shone
Keane's end at Juventus
His team's power won
Beast perseverance
2-3 semi so they march on

Teddy & Ole
Broken Bayern lines
Videos with no YouTube
In sport mad mind

Great from great, Cantona
Flying curve ball martial artist
Old Leeds leech
A la French finest

Man Utd before Glazier fud
Old Trafford dreams
Red Devil blood
A fan forever no matter loss
Good grinding Fergie
Our hairdryer boss

True Red Devil
Hughesy's volleys
Arsenal disheveled
Good Giggsy speed
End to end
Back of the net
Great teen we get
Front of our dreams

True Red Devil
Scars from Aguero
And Barce's better
New cycles please
We've been Malcolmed
Bought like shop
These greedy Glaziers fucking up
Our theatre of dreams

If only for Fergie time
We'd be doing just fine

Toccata in Dmin, (Johann Sebastian Bach)

My sister Cindy wanted me to write music for her. It is becoming increasingly hard to play and that makes me sad.  I have lay so far back in my powerchair that I can't see the controls. I can't tolerate sitting up, it's too hard to breathe. Some days I can't even get out of bed.

My son attached a projector to my computer so my screen is now 6'x4', and I have a small keyboard I hold in my hand. So I try to keep up, but it takes much longer to do anything. ALS is not easy to deal with. It's important to stay positive and make good use of the time I have left.

Single Use & Recycled -- @user-995867230 -- Bill — acousitc rhythm and lead guitar and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums and percussion

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics

This song started as an idea Bill came up with on his acoustic guitar. Having found each other on the Cloud and enjoying each other's music, Josh and Bill decided to do a collab. Bill is a real deal guitarist, who's as prolific as he is skilled. Of course, Josh invited Eclectic Collective to the party, too.
  Shortly after doing so, he laid down a bass part to Bill's skeleton withi his four string fretless bass. Ken followed suit, and after a back and forth, completed the rhythms secion. JJ dug in next, adding the thrilling strings that highlight the high points of the melody. 
  There wasn't a whole lot of room for everyone on this, though, as Bill had the guitar parts nailed down tight. However, after sitting on the shelf for about half a year, Carl came along and added the missing piece with his raucuos vocals. Stephen also fattened up the sound a bit with his acoustic rhythm guitar.  
  Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to work his production, mix, and mastering magic on it, too, which he came through with, as always.
  This brilliant song almost didn't see the light of day. It sat for what felt like forever, until we decided to revive it. This will not be the last collab we do with Bill, though, who was generous in not only sharing his music with us, but allowing us to do whatever we wanted with it, too. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.  

Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:

Shifty shire
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
Gerry's meandering
Not thinking of sane
What colourful friends can stop red rain?

With freedom waning
Conversation is paused
A few rich men failing
With solidarity cause
Shift the shire!
At minority we've baulked
That mind inconvenient
New red lines are chalked

State turf wars are on
Ah, redistrict rot
Dividing a country for power by plot
For the rights of the white man
We missing those slaves
So legislate oppression
That skin 'aint red way

 I live in the " Real World  " lyrics by Glenny G
What's the matter with the car your driving it seems to be running fine 
"Fine Fine Fine Fine "
Why complain about the place your living it's just for doing time
" Time Time Time Time "
I can't worry about your mental state , I'm sick and tired of trying
" Bye Bye Bye Bye "
In just in case you can't relate ,  inside I feel like dying " I feel like crying "
But I'm working on me even though your walking out
I live in the real world not the one all filled with doubts 
So don't lay it on me girl cause I know what I need
 I live in the real not alone in fantasy
What's the matter with this watch I'm wearing it must be running slow
" Time time time time "
I thought I had so much more to do but I need some place to go
" Fun Fun Fun Fun "
Cruising down the lost highway it seemed to be where I'm bound
" Bounce Bounce Bounce Bounce "
I'm satisfy me a real soul someone who wont let me down
 " Wont Let me down "
Cause I'm working on me even though I'm running free
I live in the real world not a lone in fantasy
So don't lay it on me girl cause I know what I need
I live in the real world not alone in fantasy
I'm gonna take a long vacation and write myself a  sad sad song
Shake loose all this aggravation , heal my heart up oh so strong
I live in the real world . I live in the real world , I live in the real world
I LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD >>>>>>>>>>>>>

I live in the " Real World " !

A Romanian version of Coming Home - part I

This is a demo of my original song — I wrote the lyrics and music, and used Suno to create a reference version for production ideas.

Venind Acasa (DEMO)

Playing with ideas.. mostly failing :)
I love listening to music, from the baroque era(love Bach, Vivaldi) and some traditional old music all the way to the music nowadays.

It's not how big the artist is, I'm listening to the song with no other expectations that finding a good musical story behind the music. 
Not a fan of progress and being different for the sake of it. 
I like when people try to revive and build on old ideas. I think it sometimes carries much bigger risks than trying new things and can go to interesting places..

Not a good instrument player,  but like to tinker with it..

"Those who can, do; those who can't, use computers." << me.

All the music here is generated from Musescore, which I use to write down the ideas while I experiment on guitar and/or piano.

If interested to collaborate, send me a message..
Thanks for listening!
